So Baltimore Riots

[roberth]

Things are going to get worse no matter what verdict is delivered.

The Baltimore city government failed to protect its own police officers, the private property of citizens, they failed to uphold the rule of law, I'm sure there are other things they failed at. Almost the same thing happened in Ferguson. Appeasement didn't work for Neville Chamberlain on the continental scale, I cannot understand why anyone would think appeasement will work on a smaller scale in the city.

Some people have said that Denver/Aurora would handle it differently but I have my doubts. When a person who operates outside the law in a normal situation is given even more latitude in an abnormal situation then we get Baltimore. There is no reason to think that Denver/Aurora are any different.

Keep in mind that your rights, your loved ones, and your property have no value to the government especially when the government is presented with an opportunity to display a little favoritism towards one of the protected classes. The police aren't at fault, the people at fault are the 'crats who give the orders from their ivory towers. If you're angry direct your anger towards the faceless 'crats because they're the ones responsible for these situations.

Prepare accordingly.

The idea that cops can do no wrong is what caused this whole thing. This started and will end with Cops and their actions (or inaction). The thought that 'crats' should protect them when SOMEBODY is at fault for a man in protective custody dying is repulsive and unAmerican. The police force failed (repeatedly) and is being held accountable. They will get their day in court as they should. Cops should be held to a higher standard, not lower. The British wanted to have everybody obey the laws that were stacked against us. They wanted us to accept their authority as thugs and bully's because they had laws. Well, the power has and always will sit with the people not THUGs who use their granted/delagated power against those same people. Cops as bully's has never been acceptable and killing a man over a stop deemed unlawful is bullying.

BTW: Cops are the Government. Are cops supposed to be a "protected class"?

your property have no value to the government especially when the government is presented with an opportunity to display a little favoritism towards one of the protected classes.

To be clear:I am not saying lawlessness is OK. What I am saying is that cops are not above the law. They can't use the law as a shield. When they think they are..... the people have every right to do whatever they can to make that understood regardless of what is on paper. If you don't understand that..... We know what side you are on from history and the Constitution.
